ALL ABOARD THE TRUMP FAMILY TRAIN, EST. 2017 BY DOLLYCALI!
Survived everything thrown at it over the years, just like President Trump....including trolls, moles and saboteurs.
Welcome to the TRUMP FAMILY TRAIN THREAD, where all things Trump are welcome!
Feel free to share news, your comments and opinions, memes, recipes, travel photos... the list is endless.
Posting on behalf of the TFT founder and thread mama, Dolly Cali. 
thx for our President’s posts
Bible in a Year :
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts.
As a blizzard bore down on my state in the western United States, my widowed mother agreed to stay with my family to “ride out” the storm. After the blizzard, however, she never returned to her house. She moved in, dwelling with us for the rest of her life. Her presence changed our household in many positive ways. She was available daily to provide wisdom, advice to family members, and share ancestral stories. She and my husband became the best of friends, sharing a similar sense of humor and love of sports. No longer a visitor, she was a permanent and vital resident—forever changing our hearts even after God called her home.
The experience recalls John’s description of Jesus—that He “dwelt among us” (John 1:14 kjv). It’s a compelling description because in the original Greek the word dwelt means “to pitch a tent.” Another translation says, He “made his home among us” (nlt).
By faith, we also receive Jesus as the One who dwells in our hearts. As Paul wrote, “I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong” (Ephesians 3:16–17 nlt).
Not a casual visitor, Jesus is an empowering permanent resident of all who follow Him. May we open wide the doors of our hearts and welcome Him. .
Reflect & Pray
What does it mean for you to open your heart to Christ? How can you make Him more welcome?
As You live in my heart, loving Jesus, make me more like You.

“This case raises the question whether the States, in addition to Congress, may also enforce Section 3. We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”
Even the Liberals had to agree
more from the decision:
“Conflicting state outcomes concerning the same candidate could result not just from differing views of the merits, but from variations in state law governing the proceedings that are necessary to make Section 3 disqualification determinations. Some States might allow a Section 3 challenge to succeed based on a preponderance of the evidence, while others might require a heightened showing. Certain evidence (like the congressional Report on which the lower courts relied here) might be admissible in some States but inadmissible hearsay in others. Disqualification might be possible only through criminal prosecution, as opposed to expedited civil proceedings, in particular States. Indeed, in some States—unlike Colorado (or Maine, where the secretary of state recently issued an order excluding former President Trump from the primary ballot)—procedures for excluding an ineligible candidate from the ballot may not exist at all. The result could well be that a single candidate would be declared ineligible in some States, but not others, based on the same conduct (and perhaps even the same factual record).
The “patchwork” that would likely result from state enforcement would “sever the direct link that the Framers found so critical between the National Government and the people of the United States” as a whole. U. S. Term Limits, 514 U. S., at 822. But in a Presidential election “the impact of the votes cast in each State is affected by the votes cast”— or, in this case, the votes not allowed to be cast—“for the various candidates in other States.” Anderson, 460 U. S., at 795. An evolving electoral map could dramatically change the behavior of voters, parties, and States across the country, in different ways and at different times. The disruption would be all the more acute—and could nullify the votes of millions and change the election result—if Section 3 enforcement were attempted after the Nation has voted. Nothing in the Constitution requires that we endure such chaos—arriving at any time or different times, up to and perhaps beyond the Inauguration.”
Just sharing one of the most spontaneous moving Cello/Piano performances I’ve heard....touches every place in the heart and soul...

Emails to state reps sent:
I am writing with my opinion that no vaccines should be allowed in any food in Tennessee. If I want a vaccine in my body, I will purposely go and find it. Even if the food is labeled, it could be easily missed and then there are problems with side effects and dosage.
We escaped California to put this government overreach lunacy behind us. I never thought I would find it in Tennessee. I hope I don’t have to move again.
thank you,

George Washington takes Dorchester Heights
On this day in history, March 4, 1776, George Washington takes Dorchester Heights, forcing the British to abandon Boston within weeks. After the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the local militia and the Continental Army surrounded the British troops in Boston in a siege which lasted an entire year.
There were two sets of hills surrounding Boston with natural views of the town and its harbor, Bunker Hill and Breed’s Hill to the north and Dorchester Heights to the south. The British captured Bunker Hill and Breed’s Hill during the Battle of Bunker Hill in June, 1775, in a very costly action which lost over a thousand men killed or wounded.
In Boston, General William Howe did not have a lot of options. The only way in or out was by sea. Any movements he made would be quickly detected. He had to be careful not to get into another costly fight like Bunker Hill, which, though a victory, had little strategic significance.
George Washington wanted to capture Dorchester Heights, but was reluctant. Taking the heights would give the Americans the ability to rain down fire on the city and prevent ships from re-supplying them by sea. General Gage would be forced to either try to retake the heights or to leave the city. Washington hesitated for months though because his army was very inexperienced. He didn’t know if they could withstand a major British assault and they were very low on ammunition and arms.
Colonel Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen captured a huge supply of weapons at Fort Ticonderoga, New York on May 10, 1775. In November, Washington sent Colonel Henry Knox to bring the weapons to Boston. It took him 3 months to transport 60 tons of cannons, mortars and howitzers across the wintry Berkshires on sleds pulled by oxen. When they arrived, Washington had the tools he needed to bring the occupation of Boston to an end.
He first created a diversion by placing a few of the cannons in Cambridge and Roxbury and fired them on Boston during the nights of March 2 and 3. On the night of the 4th, the cannon fire continued, but 2,000 American troops began hauling the rest of the cannons up to Dorchester Heights, muffling the wagon sounds with straw wrapped around the wheels. The soldiers built earthworks for protection and by morning, the hills were filled with weapons pointing down on the city and the harbor.
General Howe began making plans for an immediate attack because of this untenable position. The planned assault was stopped, however, that evening when a severe snowstorm rolled in. During the next few days, Admiral Molyneaux Shuldham informed the General that he could not leave his ships in this vulnerable position. Howe realized an attack on the heights at this point would probably result in another disaster like Bunker Hill with heavy British losses. He decided it was wiser to withdraw from Boston to save his army for another day.
On March 17th, General Howe pulled all his troops from the city and sailed for Nova Scotia. Washington let them go unhindered in exchange for Howe’s promise not to destroy the city when he left. Washington’s army marched for New York and would meet Howe again when he attacked that city in the fall.

The truth about the 2020 elections has to come out, for this country to move forward.
The Biden Administration has to be found to be illegitmate, and all decisions of the last three years completely reversed.
And then, justice must be administered to the traitors and seditionists who conspired to steal an election from the American people.
And let’s not forget their propagandists in the media:

The 9-0 ruling really underscores how all the left’s celebrated legal “experts” are legal imbeciles whose real talent is ruthlessly weaponizing the justice system against their enemies.
Excellent letter - short and right to the point.
That was beautiful, caww. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes.
Very poignant, Mayor. Dwelling among us is perfect.
Funny, your little stories seem to dovetail with some of my current experiences for some reason.
We moved onto my daughter and son-in-law’s farm a couple of years ago, into a nice new mobile home. It has been a wonderful benefit, and they have said that they’re happy as well. I believe them, because my son-in-law has yet to switch the locks around so they work from the outside lol.
So many benefits that we had never thought about - dwelling closely presents many different scenarios, some of which were never expected. We can see God’s hand on the whole thing.
I am thankful every day for this blessing from God.
Hi Spunky!
Sunny and about 65 degrees here today. Natalie out cleaning up the gardens, and I’m sitting in the sun. Going for a nice walk this afternoon. Next week we could be back to below freezing and 2 feet of snow lol.
They must have had this one ready to go and waiting lol.
